    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I would say maybe jewelry is the only bad spot for finding a specific item for a build because those slots have so many possibilities. Weapons can too but you should be cubing those early and often so you can benefit from incidental ancients. I really don't care about ancients beyond weapons...

    Speaking of clearances, is it generally a good idea to tell(or even ask?!?) someone that you're going to use them as a reference? Some guy I used to work with and not once interacted with outside of work put me down as clearance reference and I find out about the day the investigator shows up...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It'd pretty much be the same as The Martian but instead of all that hard work and ingenuity going towards getting home, Matt Damon would finally be able to play P99 in peace.

    Torrents

    Not yet, tried the IRC thing last night but no one was in there. I'm guessing either I cleared something from my torrent folder too soon and left a H&R delinquent for too long or I connected to the website with my work VPN active. Bad idea to try the IRC thing from work?

    Smartphones

    Sounds pretty unrealistic. Batteries are at least 66% of a phone and for good reason. Making that smaller so you can shove out of the way? Not going to happen.

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    "haters" is just a lazy way to dismiss valid criticisms of the movie. Was the movie really that bad as the reaction it garnered? No. But it still deserves that reaction because it had so much potential.

    I imagine by the time automated machine learning ramps up, there will be bigger issues(good and bad) than just my own personal career ;) I do agree with your post though. I'm kinda new switching to a purely software job, I used to do hardware testing but got out of the industry because it was...

    Smartphones

    Resting on desk would be the only negative to scanner on back. But at the same time, that also means taking up screen space with navigation buttons because you no longer have a need for physical buttons on the front. And no, manufacturer's do not always compensate onscreen buttons with a...

    Yeah, that's part of the problem. Devs want bugs filed or for us to update baselines if we think the product behavior change is good or not. I'd much prefer them to review the results themselves but their time is constrained as it is. Everyone's bug count, including my own, is going up, not down.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We're expected to dig into the failures a bit before opening bugs for devs. It's probably my biggest gripe about this job. How am I supposed to make any efficient headway on a bug from a codebase I never work in? So most of the time we just manually open bugs and paste in the information we...

    Ah, ok, that makes sense. Also, thanks for reminding me I still spend 1-4 hours a day reviewing test regression results :( Some of it needs to be looked at by a human since it product behavior but I wouldn't be surprised if most of the work couldn't be automated away. It's kind a catch 22 in...

    Good job, but why couldn't you put that on your resume before? Sure, it wouldn't as impressive because you wouldn't be able to quote realist man hours saved. But if the application saves time regardless if people use or even officially support, I'd still put it on your resume.

    Hearthstone

    Constructed: R20: card back R15 and every 5 ranks after: 1 pack from the current expansion guaranteed to be all golden but independent of pity timers Do something to make losing not as painful. Can't lose rank every 5 ranks or you can only lose so many consecutive stars. Something to...

    Hearthstone

    That's 1-2 arena runs, which I consider better rewards than an extra golden common. Play arena to collect gold/dust/packs to then expand your collection. Then use your cards to play constructed to get golden portraits and cards? I've got the cards to play pretty much any deck but I'd still...

    Hearthstone

    Do they need to make the rewards for ladder considerably better? I used to rank to 5 because the rewards for legendary weren't worth the time lost playing arena. Then I made the same rationalizations for dropping down to 10 and then 15 last season. And I don't think I'm wrong even at 15. Play...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Slackers and losers take sick days! I can easily work from home and yet just the perception of not being in the office when I possibly could have been is sometimes enough to motivate me to come in. I agree with your notion, it's just really hard not to feel compelled to come into work if you can.

    Yep, I think I've even found it's affecting my taste in games. I have to read a bunch of shit? Nope. Tutorial screens? Nope. Get in, play, put it down when someone needs my attention. I keep going back to hearthstone despite multiple rage quits because it fits that "casual gaming"...

    I've considered buying a laptop just for this reason. Work + kid + dinner takes up 12 hours of your day, easily. I still want to play games, spend time with wife, fix shit around the house, maybe put an extra hour or two of work. Fuck, just not enough time. Gotta be more efficient.

    I always tell my wife that women have many more non-verbal tools at their disposal to initiate sex. Just take out your titties, wag em around, start sucking on them. You'll get fucked. Now, regardless of whether I'm right about available tools...my idea implantation has worked exactly 0 times :(

    I guess I should get the first one... Once it's on sale low enough. Some companies getting really stingy with sale prices recently. I've NEVER seen Kerbal below $28.
